The museum identifies this painting as One of a pair of six-panel folding screens; ink, color, and gold on paper.

The museum's collection notes: Prized horses in stables may be the main theme of the pair of screens to which this screen belongs, but a lot of action is happening on the verandas. Here, people challenge one another at two different board games, go and shōgi . A lively atmosphere develops in the interplay of the dynamic horses and the strategic games.
